Sexist? No. Sexy? Yes.

 

[SPIDER-ADDA]

I'm planning on buying one. Sexist or not, it's only art.

 

[Mr. Socko]

"Bum in the air, pink thong peeking out, makeup perfect, oversized boobs struggling to stay inside the tight T-shirt"

If only MJ of the films was like this, if only...

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Is it any more sexist than showing the perfect physique of Captain America in skin-tight spandex?

A half-naked Conan The Barbarian?

The overly charming Gambit?

The sexually promiscuous Wolverine?

Because God knows, the average male fanboy is ALL of the above.

Sexism in comics is a two-way street. Get over it ladies.

And go fix me a sandwich.

I think the guy is talking about having her wash Spidey's outfit.

So? My wife does the washing in our house too. And we all appreciate her for it. It's only demeaning and "sexist" if you choose to perceive it that way.

As far as how the MJ statue is clothed, are you seriously going to try and tell me that the character hasnt been portrayed as a flirt and a tease since back in the Stan Lee era? How about McFarlane? Are you going to tell me that in reality, the majority of beautiful woman DON'T or have never ONCE used their looks to attract or otherwise influence men?

Please.

AT the end of the day, to whoever is "oh so offended" by the statue, all i can say is: dont buy it then. Case closed.

Well, there's enough of a stink that we may see our choice to either buy or not buy this statue taken away from us. That, more than anything, is the issue here.Check this out:

Save Mary Jane

The collecting community needs to get behind this, or it's going to be the beginning of the end. No one has a right to choose what we can or cannot collect.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Excellent article, Martin.

Pretty much everything men do is because of, or for the attention of women.
Just like women do the same for men, thats just the way humans are programmed either by society or the media. It's not a bad thing, it's what keeps the human race going.

The real tragedy here is with all this stupid news coverage I probably won't be able to get my hands on one of these now. Atleast other than for extortionate prices on ebay

and here i thought we still had the freedom of speech.

I've had sex with my girl on top of the washing machine while she was washing my clothes. I guess I'm just a sexist pig.

 

[Nebins]

In the comics isn't MJ the one who always repairs Peter's costume? Wouldn't it go to reason then that she would also wash it for him?

No!

 

[Leenie]

It's just a statue, for cryin' out loud! I don't see any harm in it.

I am not going to buy it, simply because I'm a girl, and that type of thing doesn't appeal to me. Haha. If guys want to buy it, then let them buy it. Owning that statue does NOT make them sexist pigs.
